I hate having sensitive skin...the bandaids needed to protect the 2nd degree burns are leaving a nice rash of their own. Damn adhesive chemicals...even the sensitive variety.
My wife has this issue too. Can you completely wrap the wound with gauze and then use the white medical tape over the gauze without it touching you skin?
Or use something like this?

Horse bandages? Lol I know they are interested the military medical kits but we use that on our dogs

 
The Christmas drama has already begun. My sister and her family are traveling here today. They were supposed to drop their stuff at my parent's house, then head over to my house for dinner with the whole family. They got a late start, so that plan has been scrapped. That would normally be a normal change in plans, but emotions are already running high.

My mom is pissed that my sister isn't staying longer than a few days, so them getting a late start has her all pissy. My dad acts like a jerk around the holidays. My BIL can't stand my parents, so he's always starting shit. My grandma has dementia, so she's like a toddler. I think my sister, grandpa, and I are the only sane ones, and I think we'll be taking care of that with alcohol for much of the week.
That sounds rough! I was going to rant about our family drama but you've got me beat. Why can't we just have a peaceful holiday?! Good luck Will.

Yes, they are used on animals but also work well to hold gauze in place on people parts too...

It's not like comparing dog food to people food. Although some of the pet food these days looks pretty good. ;)

So, since the Monday before Christmas, one and now all of the NJ kids have been sick with a cold and a horrible, bronchitis-like cough. It all started when we went a Christmas get together with another family. We walked in the door and their kid was all coughing and her voice was horse to the point where she couldn't talk. Really you didn't tell us $h!t about this?! But of course we would have been crucified upside down had we done that to them. People suck. So now, on Saturday we go into this coming weekend with all three kids sick. And the significance of this weekend? Just a birthday party for NJ #3 where we have been planning months and are expecting over 40 people and 20+ kids. Again. People suck.

 
^ yes they do. We were supposed to go to my cousin's Christmas Eve and she was talking to my SIL in the afternoon telling her how her (cousin)daughter had been throwing up all night but the party was still on. Ummmm NO! your kid's sick. We did a mad scramble and went to another cousin's house and banned cousin and daughter from showing up. Not sure it changed anything as my wife has been coughing at me and now I'm all congested with a nasty phlegm filled cough.

 
Mini-Buff 1 has strep (but is on antibiotics), mini-Buff 2 has RSV (but is improving), and Mrs. Buff is fighting a cold/strep/RSV. I am the only healthy one in the house. Mrs. Buff had a stomach bug on Christmas Eve, and the two kids started feeling crappy on Christmas. Mrs. Buff was better on Christmas, then got nailed again this weekend by the kids.

 
For those of us utilizing Tapatalk; don't upgrade to the newest version unless you want to claw your eyes out. What was once a great product has been stomped on and flushed down the toilet.

First, they got rid of pro and made everything ad driven (even if you bought a prior pro version, you weren't guaranteed VIP status); then they changed the layouts slightly, but it was still somewhat functional; now they changed it again and it is even worse! Large text and pictures take up ~60% of the screen; only 2 unread threads are visible and the icons have changed in a non-intuitive manner.

Time to either go the web browser route or find a different app to surf the forums!

 
I'm not thrilled with the upgrade either and for the same reason, but unfortunately it's still better than the Web browser. So I'm stuck with it.

 
I'm screamed out (on the inside), but will post here anyway. Was just informed that 2015 merit increases are indefinitely on hold. We don't know if / when we'll see it this year or, if we do, whether the raise will include prior months that were missed. This really, really sucks. Fuck those middle east assholes. Fuck them right in the ass, sideways, and with a chainsaw. Shit shit shit motherfucking shit. Personally I had a great 2014 performance wise including saving the company over $3 million... but it doesn't matter. Globally, everyone gets a pineapple up the ass because of those fuck sticks drifting on the highways in sand land. Assholes.

 
prayers sent...... :suicide:

We wont know about ours for another month..

Our office was asked to be 99% billable to cover some other slacker offices...99%........

 
We were never expected to be more than 75% billable at my last consulting job because we were expected to do our own marketing. I hate writing proposals.

 
most of our production staff's billability goals are 90%, PM's are 70-80%, upper mgmt. is 50%.. They are just trying to get to the end of the year and make the numbers look good to the overlords...
